Whether it is the artillery captured by the United Mexican States from the army of the Second Mexican Empire, the expeditionary force of the Second French Empire, or the artillery "volunteered" by the United States, it is all old breech guns left over from the era of Napoleon I.

The Second French Empire, which believed that the French artillery was still the first in the world, did not increase its investment in the research of new artillery at all.

At present, the artillery of the Second French Empire is mainly designed by the Second French Empire around 1850, and the technical characteristics are still based on the technical characteristics of the era of Napoleon I - breech gun plus smoothbore gun technology.

Napoleon I's nephew, Napoleon III, was the eldest, and the French army still used Napoleonic cannons with technical characteristics during the Napoleon I period.

The artillery supported by the United States is also the M1857 12-pounder field gun used by the Yankees during the Civil War, nicknamed the "Great Napoleon Cannon".

The Yankee improved the artillery of the Second French Empire and installed it, and the technical characteristics were not much different from the French artillery.

The maximum firing range of the French Napoleonic cannon could not theoretically exceed 2,500 meters, and the fastest rate of fire under a skilled gunner was only two to three rounds per minute.

On the other hand, the maximum firing range of the Prussian Krupp cannon with breech gun technology is theoretically about 3,500 meters, and the average gunner can do more than five rounds per minute, and the most skilled gunner can even achieve ten rounds per minute.

Not to mention the rifle, which has a skilful and swashy rate of fire of 10-15 rounds per minute, a muzzle velocity of 420 m/s, and a gauge range of 1,200 meters.

The difference in productivity is also different, Mexico is now dominated by a large plantation economy, there is not even a decent factory in the country, and the few industrial products are also produced by Yankee factories.

Looking at John's Front, Tom was not stingy with logistics.

The 150,000-strong "security" brigade has at least a million people as its logistical personnel, no less than 100,000 personnel in the production of artillery shells alone, and hundreds of thousands of laborers in road construction.

Hero Inc. is equivalent to using some "national necessities" to concentrate the national power of the United States to fight against Mexico, a "primitive country".

"War, what is decided on the battlefield is not even one percent."

"What advanced tactics, what fearless spirit, what crowd tactics, what guerrilla tactics."

"In front of an absolute gap and an enemy who ignores the subsequent domination, it's a joke."

"I, Tom Smith, don't want you Indians, a group of primitives who dance gods, I just want this land!"

"This is the living space of my Texas people~"

Advanced weaponry, specialized training in later ideas, control of thoughts, and unimaginable productivity, combined with Tom's strategic purpose for northern Mexico, was not to rule the people of the land, but to get a piece of land.

Under the influence of all of the above, the defense of the United Mexican States is simply an ornament that can be placed at will in front of Tom's "knightly squire".

John also perfectly executed Tom's strategic goal of leaving no one behind.

When encountering a village, it is directly leveled, as long as it is not a person from the hero company, it is not a matter of killing.

Even the local Hispanic plantation owners were ruthless and killed.

Some of the forests that looked likely to be Tibetan Indians were also burned.

The Indians were not given a chance to fight around the rear at all.

If the war is not about gaining a land that can be ruled in peace for a long time and that taxes are constantly paid, then what is the gain of laying down this land?

This incredible strategic objective has left President Benito of the United Mexican States at a loss for words.

Not only President Benito, but also Yankey, Napoleon III, and everyone who followed this war could not understand the strange strategic goal of the hero company.

pattern, this is the gap in the pattern.

Mexico, which recently experienced the Mexican-American War and lost a large amount of territory, now has seven or eight million people, basically all of whom are primitive Indians.

During the Mexican-American War, the United States did not fully annex Mexico because the rest of the land was basically a gathering place for Indians.

These places were not conducive to the rule of the Americans, who were culturally close to the Europeans and had a mixture of industrial and plantation-style production.

Now Tom seems to be telling the Americans and the people of the world that if the people in a land are not suitable for rule, but you want the land very much, then is it not good to get rid of people directly?

The Americans' combined approach to the Indians' war and immigration was too merciful.

It's only 7-8 million Indians, and Tom doesn't mind a little less population of these peoples, who are culturally and conventionally completely inintegrated into industrial society and exploited by their own hero company.

It's not much, just reduce it by a few hundred percent, and it's better to perish on the spot.

In Tom's eyes, these peoples who are not suitable for industrial production should become a part of history and be remembered, rather than dragging down the world's per capita productivity alive.

God created mankind, Colt made men equal, and Smith cleared out the waste.

Take advantage of the "lack of lackeys" above the average of everything,

Transform the "tool man" near the average of everything,

Remove all the "waste" below the average line.

John Front's army was soon called the "Devil's Army" by the Mexican people, and John Mueller's nickname of "Three-Fingered Demon" officially went out of the underground world of Texas and resounded in every land of Mexico.

May 15, 1867

Just as John's Front was steadily advancing.

Mexico City has changed!

Massimiliano I was arrested on his way from Mexico City and brought to a military court.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, and especially to end the battle with the unstoppable "devil's army", a military tribunal tried Massimiliano I overnight.

President Benito, in order to demonstrate the determination of the United Mexican States not to be invaded by other countries, and especially not to allow the monarchy to be repeated, secretly instructed the trial judges of the military tribunal to execute Massimiliano I.

Eventually, a military tribunal ordered the execution of Massimiliano I on the basis of the Black Decree signed by Massimiliano I.

The Black Decree: in short, prisoners of war could be disposed of at will, signed by Massimiliano I on October 3, 1865.

When Massimiliano I signed this decree, it was intended to strike at the United Mexican States by executing a large number of the top leaders of the United Mexican States who had captured a large number of captives at the time.

Unexpectedly, it became Massimiliano I's own talisman.

The younger brother of the Emperor of Habsburg, the son-in-law of the King of Belgium, the grandson of the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the grandson of the King of Bavaria, and the puppet appointed by the Emperor of France......

The "common relatives" of almost all European royal families were ordered to be executed.

Or executed by the indigenous people of these colonies in the Americas.

The news spread all over the world in an instant.

PS: Again, President Benito is an Indian.
